How do you keep a 8mth old baby entertained on a 4 hour flight?
I am taking my daughter for the first time on a airplane flight to Phoenix to visit relatives. It is a 4hr flight from Cleveland! Any advice on keeping her entertained and happy for those 4 hours. It will just be me and her, so I could use some advice. Thank you!

i don't envy you. my only advice is to keep the baby busy up until the flight and give the baby a nice bottle so maybe she will sleep through the whole thing.

I have never taken my kids on a flight but I have taken them on car trips. I found what works the best is to have their favorite toys with you. Always keep them occupied or if you have one of the new DvD players you can take with you that might help but at that age I don't know how long that would keep you baby entertained. Reading is a good thing to. I know many parents don't read to their kids at that age but I have been reading to my kids since they were about a month old and now they love it at least my 2 year old does my 8 month old just likes the pictures. Good Luck on your trip.

soft music rocking her to sleep if theres a movie then put the head phones and let her watch it
4 :
Books are a good option. It's a relaxing activity you do while sitting anyway, so maybe that will work. Also, take out one toy at a time for her to play with. Good luck
5 :
I just flew alone with my 8 month old...he seemed to want to pull everything out of the back seat pocket- so I would bring things that she can "find" and pull out of the seat pocket. If you can, try to schedule the flight around her nap. Also- ask for the seat closest to the front of the airplane. I say this because there is no room to change a baby except for on the floor in the gally. Bring an extra blanket you can lay on the floor...because that is where you will have to change her! Good luck! You will be suprised at how well behaved she will be- there is so much to look at she will be entertained.

about 772 miles, app. 1.5 hour flight plus 12 hour wait at the airport
2 :
i recommend you don 't check flight information from the airlines, the comments on yahoo answers are much more reliable.
3 :
The flight itself should be approximately 1.5 hours. But weather does effect time.
4 :
I would say its about 1 1/2-2 hours. Phoenix to Ontario is an hour so I would actually say about 2 hours total. Have a good flight!!!
5 :
i used to live in sacramento, ca. still visit sometimes. and my aunt comes here a lot too. so i would know. its about 2 hours. give or take. depending on the weather, flight issues (if any) like delays. but im sure its 2 hours. it goes by sooo fast. so dont worry. we will get here safe. good time to fly too. the weather is NICE. well, depends on where the plane flys over. there is this storm coming off the south side of CA. maybe your light wont go near that. im sure they know better not to. have fun.

Ever booked a connecting flight on two different airlines
Ever booked a connecting flight on two different airlines?
I want to book a flight to Hawaii and I found it is cheaper if I book a round trip flight from my home to Phoenix and then a seperate round trip flight from Phoenix to Honolulu. The problem is that these two flights will be on different airlines. I have never done anything like this before and am just wondering how your experience was and if it is worth the savings to do it this way. Also, can I check in for my second flight from my home airport? If not, then will I have to go out of security to check in once I get to Phoenix? What do I do about my baggage, is carry on my only option? I'd call an expert to ask but I have no idea who to call. Which airline should I call or should I call the airport in Phoenix? I just really have no idea who can help me, so any information you have would be great.

It's worth the savings!! I did this when I went overseas, and it was easy. The airlines handle the luggage, so all you have to do is run through the terminal! You won't have to go through a security check point unless they have check points at each gate. Do it though! If it's going to save you money, do it! Just be sure to leave plenty of lay-over time!
2 :
I've done it once (only because of a schedule mess-up). I arranged to have my bags transferred, no problem -- through the ticket counter of one of the airlines. Just call one (or both) of the airlines toll-free number. They will help you out. You can also look up Travel Agents in the yellow pages. Call around to find a friendly one who can help you with your exact situation.
3 :
Since you have already checked fares, you must know what airlines you are looking at. You didn't specify this your question. I'll just throw out a few examples of baggage agreement: US Air transfer to United, Continental transfer to Northweat, American to Hawaiian. If your first leg is Southwest, then you'd better just carry-on your luggage.
4 :
Pretty much all US-based airlines will "interline" with each other--meaning they'll check baggage through to your final destination, even if you're starting on a different airline that you ticketed separately. Just show both of you itineraries when you check in, and request your baggage be checked through to HNL (look on the sticker after they attach it to your bag to be sure it's routed through with your properly). Take your baggage claim sticker with you--don't lose it--on the minute chance you'd need to make a baggage claim. And as another said, leave PLENTY of connect time at PHX--I recommend at least 4 hours--so get there early, and if you're on time, just relax in an restaurant while you're waiting--you're on vacation, remember! Enjoy your trip.
